AmeriCorps projects benefit children, veterans

Two new AmeriCorps projects will help children and veterans in Delaware.

Wendy Spencer, head of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which is the umbrella organization for AmeriCorps, made the announcement at the Clarence Fraim Boys and Girls Club in Wilmington.

"These young leaders will tackle everything from after-school programs to renovating and restoring a former National Guard Armory in Smyna nearby, home to a Boys and Girls Club that serves military-connected children and their families," she said.
